Ever since ecommerce has become a
widespread commerciai environment,
the distribution networks (new and
preexistent), composed of suppliers and
distributors, have tried to develop a real
commercial activity on the web. This
objective upsets the organization of the
resale of the products by becoming
competitor and complement of the
traditional networks of distribution.
Our work deals with the legal analysis of
the incidence of Internet on the relations
between distributors and suppliers, more
particularly on the contract which bind
these two parties. We articulated our
work around the comparison of the
European and North-American legal
systems. We examine the coexistence
and compatibility between of these
distribution networks and the virtual
merchandising, with the goal of
proposing certain avenues for the future
development of the existing networks
through the Internet.
